Round Robin - Royalee's Quilt

When I received Royalee's quilt, it had a lot going on. I couldn't help but notice its unabashed scappiness. The commonalities amongst the blocks were a log cabin structure, some floral prints, and the inclusion of tone on tone white strips.

I decided to tone down the busyness by adding some negative space. I kept with the log cabin structure and liberal use of color. I did include a little surprise within the piecing that Royalee will discover when she takes her quilt into a dark room. If you've been reading my blog, can you guess what this fabric is?

Great add Afton. I was so unsure what to do for my contribution so I just flowed with the wonky log cabin theme. My quilts don't usually have that many colors so I felt so out of my comfort zone but you managed to add on beautifully. I can see this having this wonderfully bright and colorful center transiting into neutral negative space on the edge. Not that, that is what is going to happen but when I see your picture that is what I see in my head. Oh I think I just thought up another quilt project to add to my list.
